Be present; choose consciously.

I mentioned in my previous post that, for me, the Seven Whispers could be summed up in the phrase: Be present; choose consciously. This four-word synopsis invites us to ask questions when any situation arises:

What’s really happening, here and now?

With what choices does it present me?

Which choices look/feel nourishing, healthy, and in the best good of all?

Which choices look/feel lifeless, unhealthy, and not in the best good of all?

Which of these choices am I able to make and act on right now?

Which of these choices do I need to make that need to wait?

Which of these choices do I need to make that I don’t want to make?

What choices will I most likely never make?

What’s the most likely result/effect I can see growing out of each choice?

What new choices might each result/effect offer me?

Sounds like a lot to sort out. If we’re simply present with what is, the right thing is right in front of us. This is where tools and processes such as tarot, coaching, astrology, psychotherapy,circle methodology, and coffee klatches come in handy. We have so much information that it helps to have some feedback, or at least a sounding board, to narrow it down.

And it’s important to have options. More options equals more personal power. I don’t mean more options in a “let’s have more and more stuff” kind of way, rather that to realise that there’s more than one path gives me a sense of empowerment and that Life is kinder than I originally thought. Even if I make a less “evolved” choice, at least now I’m doing it from a conscious perspective instead of by default.

Aahh…it’s nice to know that someone enjoys questions as much as I do, Martha. Glad you find them useful. Next book will be a booklet of many of my original tarot layouts, due out soon.
